Kubernetes Overview

Kubernetes is an open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services with a rapidly growing ecosystem. Kubernetes orchestrates computing, networking, and storage infrastructure on behalf of user workloads. The tool facilitates both: declarative configuration and automation and was released to the public by Google in 2014.

Kubernetes has a number of features. It can be thought of as:

a container platform

a microservices platform

a portable cloud platform and a lot more.

Minikube runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a VM on your computer or cloud server for developing and testing applications.
